Root River Old Garden River by Community Volunteers
The rocks are uneven on the walk down the hill to the shoreline. Grassess have grown that have made it difficult to see where to safely put feet as walking down. Be careful. There was fishing line found once again. The river was barely moving but can be seen with flow upstream and just below the sampling location. There was some fish fry present, approx. 8-10. There was iron oxidizing bacteria on the right bank in two areas showing orange and red hues leaching from the substrate. There was no wildlife seen. No birds.

Crystal Creek Case Rd by Community Volunteers
Be safe and prepared with tick ger to walk through the long grasses and meadow wildflowers. There is a large debris of natural nature, it is not related to beavers. The tree fell in the winter season and has been slowly moving closer to the culvert whenever there are large rainfall events. I have been monitoring the tree if it is to make its way to the culvert this site could become dangerous to sample. I will continue to monitor and give updates on the status of the monitoring site. There is no evidence of sea lampreys in the gravel sand bed. It has been 5 weeks since the sea lampreys were discovered at site #16. A robin(Turdus migratorius) was seen bathing in the creek.
